Reviews for The Flying Otter Grill are mixed, with the location and patio views being the primary highlights. Many guests love the ability to watch float planes from the marina, describing the ambiance as a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. However, feedback regarding the food is inconsistent; while some diners enjoy the fish and chips and shrimp appetizers, others have reported issues with food quality, such as dry fries or over-sauced dishes.
